He also became noted for the part he took with the Parliament against Charles L When, in 1642, Lord Strange laid siege to Manchester, Robert Hyde, along with others of the neighbouring gentry, armed his servants and dependents and marched to the relief of the town. He successfully opposed the proposal of Colonel Holland and others who suggested the surrender of the place, and assisted in the discomfiture of the royalists. He died in 1684, in the 80th year of his age, and was interred at Denton Chapel.
